Insight on starting in the trades

22M in Canada (East) – Looking to get into trades (HVAC/plumbing?)

Hey everyone, I’m 22 and graduated high school in 2021. I tried college for business but realized it’s not for me long term. I’ve been kind of stuck at home since then, but recently I’ve been seriously thinking about getting into the trades.

I’m interested in HVAC or plumbing, but honestly open to anything stable with good pay and growth.

I had a few questions:

- Do I need to go to college first, or can I go straight into an apprenticeship?

- What’s the best way to get started in Canada (East)?

- Any advice for someone with no experience?

Appreciate any help or direction.
